APC In Bayelsa: The Enemies Are At The Door, Wike Rallies His Troops
Governor Nyesom Wike has called for unity among the citizenry in Rivers State cautioning that the takeover of Bayelsa State by those he dubbed as enemies was a bridgehead for the final assault on Rivers State.
“Unfortunately, one of our states is gone to the enemies. But God will help us.
“For us who are from Rivers State, we should know that there will be attack on us because the enemy has entered our territory. They will attack us, but with your prayer , Rivers State will prevail “, he said.
The governor spoke when he received the Amayanabo of Wakrike Kingdom, Okrika and Prominent Chiefs of Okrika on Tuesday.
Governor Wike praised the Okrika people for the role they played during the last elections.
“The role you played during the last elections, showed that when you give your support, you give your support. People should be known for something.
“If you give your word, you give your word. In all my political career, I have seen that when Okrika people say they want to do something, they will do it. You are different and I commend you “, he said.
Governor Wike warned people against bearing arms, saying that it negates the principle of peace.
He said: “The only reason why people get arms is because the Nigerian Army is now part of elections. “
Governor Wike urged the monarch to use his position to promote peace and development in Okrika. He appealed to him to carry all interest groups along.
Vowing that his government was for all Rivers citizens, he said: “This Government is not a Government of you are from here or there. My Government is a Government of Rivers State. It is not a Government of a particular place.
“Anything that will promote the interest of Rivers State is what I will do. You can be my sister state, if you want to take what belongs to Rivers State, I will not agree. I will not sell Rivers State for any cost. Let’s be our brother’s keeper.”
He informed that the Rivers State Government will approach the State House of Assembly for the amendment of the name of the name of the stool to read: “the Amanyanabo of Okrika ” as requested by the Traditional Ruler.
In his remarks, the Amanyanabo of Wakrike Kingdom, Okrika, King Alfred Sementari Abam congratulated the Rivers State Governor on his re-election and the confirmation of his victory by the Supreme Court.
He said that the re-election of Governor Wike was because of his outstanding performance and projects delivery.
He also thanked Governor Wike for the recognition granted his stool after the court judgement.
He, however, appealed to the Rivers State Governor to ensure that the name of the stool is changed from Amayanabo of Wakrike Kingdom, Okrika to Amanyanabo of Okrika.

Kogi APC: Yahaya Bello Speaks On Suspension Of NWC Member
Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi State has urged governorship aspirants on the platform of the All Progressives Congress, APC in the state to focus on their strengths in wooing party members as he Saturday called for caution following the crisis triggered by the suspension of a member of the party’s National Working Committee, NWC Murtala Yakubu.
He warned against divisive tendencies that could jeopardise the interest of the party and undermine the peace and unity that the ruling party had been known for in the state under his leadership.
Governor Bello said this in a statement on Saturday morning, signed by the Commissioner for Information and Communications in the state, Kingsley Fanwo.
He was specifically reacting to the seeming back and forth on the suspension of a member of the APC National Working Committee from the state, Hon. Murtala Yakubu.
While wishing all the governorship aspirants a successful screening exercise, he reiterated that the party would ensure a fair playing ground for the best candidate to emerge in the primary election and expressed the confidence that APC would win the governorship election with a wide margin in November.
The statement reads, “The attention of the Executive Governor of Kogi State, Alhaji Yahaya Bello, has been drawn to series of publications on the suspension or not of a member of the All Progressives Congress in Kogi State, Hon. Murtala Yakubu.
“The Governor, as the leader of our great party in Kogi State, warns against bickering that can undermine the peace and unity that the APC has been known for under his leadership. He has therefore directed all aspirants in the forthcoming governorship primaries in the state to focus on their strengths in wooing party members and refrain from divisive tendencies in the interest of the party.
“Our party will ensure a fair playing ground for the best candidate to emerge in the primary election and together we shall win the governorship election, with a wide margin, in November.
“Governor Yahaya Bello wishes all aspirants successful screening,” the Kogi commissioner said on the heels of the crisis triggered by the reported suspension of the APC NWC member.

A Readiness To Host Jesus Coming As A Stranger
And Manoah said unto the angel of the LORD, I pray thee, let us detain thee, until we shall have made ready a kid for thee. Judges 13:15.
Here, we see the urge of Mr. Manoah to play host to the angel.
In verse 16 we would observe that as at this point the Manoahs didn’t know that they were dealing with an angel or with God.
They were just going about their life, doing the good that was part of their routine.
Now, observe, they didn’t need to make an extra effort to host the visitor.
As Christian’s we should be ready at all times to be able to discharge the responsibility of the faith we have.
We should have room for Jesus whenever He beckons or comes calling.
You would observe that Mrs. Manoah was in her office (field) verse 9 when the visitor came, yet she was at a go, ready to host the visitor.
That should be our state, wherever and whenever, we should be ready to discharge the responsibility that may come to us when God comes calling.

Love In Sharing With Family
So the woman RAN QUICKLY and TOLD her husband, “Behold, the man who came to me the other day has appeared to me.” Judges 13:10 (ESV)
The promptness with which Mrs. Manoah communicated the latest development is signposted by the action words in the first part of this verse: RAN, QUICKLY, TOLD.
She ran quickly and confided in her own husband, underpinning the fact that they were joint heirs of the grace of God.
Once the angel appeared, to her in her field (office, shop) she hurriedly closed shop, and you can imagine gazes from business partners, friends, former suitors, family asking why Mrs. Manoah was running quickly.
She told none, until she got to her husband and told him.
Why? Because they are joint-heirs of the grace being given.
She ran and was quick to tell her husband of her latest increase in grace.
Spouses should be so guided to communicate grace unto one another. It should also be so among family.

God’s Grace Is A Joint Inheritance In Families
And God hearkened to the voice of Manoah; and the angel of God came again unto the woman as she sat in the field: but Manoah her husband was not with her. Judges 13:9.
Here we are told that God harkened to the VOICE, that is, the prayer of Mr. Manoah by again appearing to his wife.
Now, we see that God can respond to a man by bringing favour to his wife or vice versa especially when the couple are in unity.
Mr. Manoah was the one who prayed but the angelic visitation was upon his wife!
The wife can also be the one praying and God would be blessing and pouring grace and favour to the husband.
When a partner in marriage receives grace it should be seen as a common inheritance of the couple as was demonstrated here by Mr. and Mrs. Manoah.
The partner in the marriage should also be open about the grace that comes from God as Mrs. Manoah was in declaring all that the Lord blessed her with during the angelic visitation.
May the Lord grant us grace in that direction in Jesus Name, Amen.

God Teach Us To Manage Grace
Then Manoah intreated the LORD, and said, O my Lord, let the man of God which thou didst send come again unto us, and teach us what we shall do unto the child that shall be born. Judges 13:8.
We see here how Mr. Manoah received the news of the birth of a child to the family.
Now, he received the news with faith. He was a believing man, who was united with his wife in bearing the burden of her barreness now about to share in the birth pangs!!!!
He asks of the Lord how the child would be brought up.
Now, observe. Parents must seek God’s grace and will in the matter of child upbringing.
It’s a tripartite affair between the two parents and God with God giving the inspiration on the programme and policy for each child.
Mr Manoah requests of God that He should teach US, that’s the two of them, how the child should be brought up.
No single parent should tend to have the lordship in child upbringing; it’s a joint affair under God.
Now just as the parents are united in the matter of child upbringing, they should do in all other issues that would come their way.
This morning we should ask God to TEACH us to manage all the grace that He is bringing into our lives.
Beloved, you can get an inkling in this direction of the stewardship of God’s grace at a gathering of God’s people somewhere near you.
Dear, go!

Angelic Visitations: A Man Of God Visits Mrs. Manoah
Then the woman came and told her husband, saying, A MAN of GOD came unto me, and his countenance was like the countenance of an ANGEL of GOD, very terrible: but I asked him not whence he was, neither told he me his name: Judges 13:6.
The angel of God who appeared to Mrs. Manoah apparently came in the form of a man. It has also been suggested that this appearance was God in the Second Person, and that is Jesus the Christ.
We have had such appearances before as when He appeared to Abraham (Genesis 18:1-3).
She also recounted that the appearance was like an angel, but in the form of a man. So, this angel did not have wings as has been generally depicted of angels.
That’s why we are again cautioned not to be restrained in receiving visitors for some Angels come as visitors. You would have heard the term angelic visitation.
An angelic visitation could come directly to you and if not, be around you. So, be careful not to misbehave!!!
Now, observe, she said His countenance was terrible, meaning dreadful, fearful, awesome.
It reminds us of the effect of a visit of the Reverend Father, priest or pastor to our homes.
The dread or automatic consecration that comes upon us as we receive such.
Mrs. Manoah was so overwhelmed that she could say nothing or even ask Him His name!
We can also wear or provoke such aura of dread among men and cause our presence to bring fear when we wear the righteousness of God.
As God’s ambassadors on earth you can also be a man of God wherever you are!

Communication, Vital In Marriage Relationships
Then the woman came and told her husband, saying, A man of God came unto me, and his countenance was like the countenance of an angel of God, very terrible: but I asked him not whence he was, neither told he me his name: Judges 13:6.
She communicated her experience with the Angel to her husband.
Her first reaction was to speak to her husband, reflecting her openness to him. This was also to the intent that the husband might be a partaker of the promise to the family.
Husbands and wives should flow together and especially when it comes to issues that pertain to their joint legacy in their marriage and the fruits thereof.
Communication is vital and so is trust and openness in marriage relationships.
Mrs. Manoah once she got home confided in her husband pertaining her experience as a way to get his buy-in into the purpose and plan of God for their family.
May God help us in our marriages to communicate and to be open in all issues for in that path we would be able to help one another towards a common destiny.

Samson: God’s Foresight Of Unfulfilled Potentials
For, lo, thou shalt conceive, and bear a son; and no razor shall come on his head: for the child shall be a Nazarite unto God from the womb: and he SHALL BEGIN TO DELIVER Israel out of the hand of the Philistines. Judges 13:5
Before the birth of this son of Mr and Mrs Manoah who was to be famously known as Samson, there were others who judged Israel and DELIVERED Israel from the hands of their enemies.
But you would notice that for Samson, the prophecy about him was that he SHALL BEGIN TO DELIVER.
We had Othniel, (Judges 3:9); Shamgar (Judges 3:31); Gideon (Judges 7:14) among others who DELIVERED Israel from the hands of their enemies.
But the attribution we have of Samson who was arguably the strongest man that ever lived was that he SHALL BEGIN to deliver.
Was it that God knew that Samson would not fulfil his potentials to DELIVER Israel despite being the strongest man ever?
His mother played her part in keeping hersel consecrated during her pregnancy but Samson on account of his lusts for women and violations of his consecration did not fulfil his potentials.
Our individual actions contribute to how we end up in God’s agenda.
Beloved, may God help us that we would not fall short of God’s expectation for our lives.
Good Day.

Drinks, Wine, And Pregnant Christians
Now therefore beware, I pray thee, and drink not wine nor strong drink, and eat not any unclean thing: Judges 13:4.
As a result of her being pregnant with a child that was to begin the liberation of Israel, Mrs. Manoah was to for the time of her pregnancy, to consecrate herself and abstain from certain things.
Now at that time, this call to consecration was not required of other pregnant women. But for Mrs. Manoah it was COMPULSORY.
We can similarly look at ourselves as people pregnant with the seeds of grace and seeds of the fruit of the Spirit. Galatians 5:22-23.
Now, the fruit of the Spirit is what every Christian should bring forth but the seed must be in us.
To birth this fruit of the Spirit, we must live a life of consecration as was required of Mrs. Manoah.
In our case, the elements of our consecration are stipulated in Romans 12.
Beloved, may God help us to see that we are pregnant with love, joy, peace, gentleness and other ingredients of the fruit of the Spirit.
Like every pregnant woman, let us also move about with caution, eat with caution and live with caution in order to bring forth living and enchanting fruit of the Spirit as planted in us!
